Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In this lecture course with integrated exercise sessions the focus will be on hypergeometric series and their applications to combinatorics. In particular, the following topics shall be covered: binomial sums, summation and transformation fomulae for hypergeomeric and basic hypergeometric series, the calculus of differences, algorithmic hypergeometric summation, and selected bijections and combinatorial enumerations.
In additon to the lectures of the instructor there will be frequent discussions. Also, homework assignments will be regularly given (which in particular will include programming assignments), of which students called upon shall present the solutions to all particpants.

Assessment and permitted materials

Participation and active cooperation (especially at the discussions) are requested. Homework will be sporadically checked. In the second half of the course each student shall give a short 15-20 minutes presentation (with his or her own prepared slides) on a theme related to the course that has been agreed on with the instructor.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Regular and punctual participation is obligatory. The quality of the individual student's active participation, presented solutions of homework problems, and of the short presentation, will be assessed.
